Even here in little ol' Charlottesville, I can rent, say, a 300/2.8 or 600/4 for my Nikon bodies. Nothing, nada, is available for Pentax. The same is true in big cities--much can be rented for Nikon and Canon, little for Pentax 35mm. >> True enough. Way back when, mid 80s I would say, this is precisely the reason that I changed systems from Pentax to Canon MF. At the time, the 3 35mm systems available for rent were Canon, Nikon, and Olympus.
